Thanks Mike for the comprehensive and interesting reply. I've been playing with the Android trial version and so far I like it, it manages to be fairly intuitive whilst providing a lot of power which is no mean feat.
From your description, I'm not sure we would be ready to deploy band-wise just yet but it could get there. I guess one change would be instead of having my own cloud storage for files, I'd have separate cloud storage per band and so would every band member who could upload charts as they wished?
I guess it would be annoying to have to load "The Boys Are Back In Town - G.pdf" x times for x different bands. In fact (and I am confused now), why would we need separate storage per band? If I understood your comment correctly, tablets sync on song names but every band member uploads charts to their own storage?
Another question which is slightly related. As ChordPro doesn't yet do what I need, how should I handle a given song in more than one key for different bands? I found an old forum thread about the intent to allow "versions" of songs but I am not sure if if was even implemented.
I guess that would also have an impact with tablet sharing and everyone needing to be synced on the song title. If different keys mean different songs, that would potentially cause a problem because I'd have "The Boys Are Back In Town - G" but the drummer would have "The Boys Are Back In Town".
I'm super-tired so forgive me if these questions are too silly or not thought through.
PS It would be awesome if the forum was mobile-responsive.
